I am using fedora 37 with kernel version 6.2.9. Some of the applications like gnome-terminal and gnome software store when launched from the Dash in gnome-shell are not focused i.e. they are not being auto-focused. But when they are launched from other way like by gnome search they are working as expected and being auto-focused. Other applications are working fine even if they are launched from the Dash. Another thing is that when some other application is opened for example Firefox or nautilus then launching gnome-terminal or gnome software store works as expected and are auto-focused. I tried setting gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.preferences focus-new-windows 'smart', but it makes no difference. This problem started showing after the last update which includes updating the kernel from 6.1.18 to 6.2.9, updating mutter and nvidia driver update. **UPDATE** I installed console application which is also a terminal emulator by gnome project. It is also showing the same issue as gnome-terminal and gnome software store. I think the applications which use the shell directly or in background, are showing this kind of issues.
